"The Bachelor" Juan Pablo Galavis Hosted Bachelorette Bash At Chateau Nightclub

Juan Pablo Galavis, the sexy star of the most recent instalment of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” hosted a Bachelorette Bash at Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop at Paris Las Vegas last night. 

Anticipation was running high as Galavis arrived at the red carpet shortly after midnight. Sporting a leather jacket and a sultry smile, the Latin lover posed for photos and greeted excited onlookers.

When asked about girlfriend Nikki Ferrell, who was noticeably absent from the night’s festivities, Galavis replied, “I wish she could have been here. She works so hard and wasn't able to make it. I respect her so much for it. I'm with her every day!"

Earlier in the day, Galavis took to Twitter to partake in a playful exchange with Ferrell. "@Nikki_Ferrell: Let's just say JP should stick to soccer and dancing!" To which Galavis responded, "@JuanPaGalavis: I'm not gonna say what you should stick to @Nikki_Ferrell #YouBetterBehave lol"

He was also overheard saying he did a little sports betting while in Vegas and lost "a little bit of money."

The reality star made his way up to The Rooftop, where he enjoyed panoramic Strip views from his lavish VIP table. The Bachelorette Bash kicked off Sin City style with an elaborate champagne presentation by the beautiful Chateau cocktail waitresses, accessorized with custom bachelorette sashes and tiaras adorned with bridal veils.

The bubbles were flowing as Galavis distributed glasses of champagne to his adoring female fans throughout the club. The Bachelor bad boy even got behind the DJ booth, showcasing his musical talents during the wild party.

Galavis popped bottles and partied the night away, sipping Grey Goose cocktails while mingling with fellow partygoers. Chateau’s hottie host made the most of his guys’ trip, partying well into the late night hours.

Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop is located at Paris Las Vegas, 3655 Las Vegas Boulevard South, directly above Sugar Factory American Brasserie. The nightclub is open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 10:30 p.m. to close.
